Although Canberra has launched its new public transport system not long ago, there seem to exist a gap between the new system’s real performance and passengers’ expectations. The ACT government has been swamped with passengers’ complaints including driver shortage, unpunctuality, late announcement of malfunction, missing bus stop alert, traffic congestion, etc. These existing problems not only degrade the travel experience of passengers but also pose a challenge to government transport administration. After the analysis of open data of ACT transport, we concluded that the underlying reason of this negative phenomenon is inefficient communication between passengers and transport operators, hence, in the short run, an app named EasyWay with a set of integrated functions is devised to streamline the entire transport service from departure to arrival while in the long run, we recommend to introduce self-driving electric vehicles to fulfill sustainability.
There are 3 entries for 2 kinds of users: passengers, authorized officers. For passengers, functions are displayed as follows
daily announcement of
recommendation for personalized route
estimate expense of travel price and travel time
real time bus/light rail tracker
anonymous comment towards the degree of safety, punctuality and crowdedness after trip is finalized
link to credit/debit card
display bar code to pay for the trip
For authorized officers, functions are displayed as follows
age of the buses in operation → guide maintenance service
incident rate → guide driver management
visualization of passengers’ real-time feedback → guide flexible route rearrangement

Cleaning all data prepared and import these formalized data into models, which created in the Modeler to form diagrams.
Data Preprocessing
Using Excel to make data cleaning. Combine budget from recent years, list the sum number as an attribute. When data comes from week by week, choose the first week and the last one or choose the last one.
Data Analyzing and Result
Create a model in SPSS Modeler to display data by several clear diagrams.
